Security of the Spanish Royals

[Susan D]

The news media do not usually show us the security people and I presume it must be fairly onerous for the royals to be so heavily guarded all the time. The security would be a negative of the job.

I don't think it's a problem to know what equipment the Spanish security services have.
The Spanish royal family has a lot of security, well-prepared people who protect them.

In comparison, even the costs of the intelligence- and security services used for royals, ministers, diplomats, etc. are not specified in the Dutch State Budget because already detailed finances would be "information for potential terrorists". Of course anyone will know that the Spanish royal family is excellently prepared but that the security has three off-road motorbikes (and not five, or nine, or twelve) is quite operational information for any potential idiot.

I also think that these details should not be disclosed.
The information was released by the royal house, presumably to show transparency.

It must be uncomfortable for Princess Leonor to be at boarding school in Wales with five bodyguards. Hopefully they give her some room to interact with her classmates and roommates.

Don't worry they are most discreet, but vigilant while knowing how to not appear intimidating.

It is official and definitive: Iñaki Urdangarin no longer has bodyguards. The Ministry of the Interior, which began the security withdrawal of Infanta Cristina's ex-husband a few days ago, has terminated this device a few hours ago, as Vanitatis has learned.

It makes sense for him to loose his security now he is no longer officially related to the Spanish royal family. His children don't have security either, so it's unlikely that he is at higher risk than they are - it also puts an end to any discussion about his preference for young female security officers and their behaviors (more like friends than as security officers).
